There are two ways to place the "Drafts" & "Sent Items" folders so that they
appear to be at the same level as "INBOX".
First you will need to create these folders under INBOX as subfolders. Then
you will need to either set "Root Folder Path" in the account properties, or
edit the registry.
see the following for more information:

P.S. Maybe the above should be added to the Cyrus-IMAP FAQ, as it appears
that I keep answering the same question.
